I use HTC Wildfire (Android) with CentOS 6 via USB. It recognizes it
like any other USB Flash drive.
Also, I connect via Home wireless and use FSync app to synchronize
specific folders from FTP server on CentOS and Android.
But there is also Total Commander for Android and it's plugins for
Windows File sharing (Samba on CentOS 6), FTP and WebDAV. Total
Commander is two-panel file manager that I find is THE BEST file manager
on ANY platform, EVER.
